I was a bit dubious about this comedy drama, but it turned out to be a lot of fun watching Halle Berry putting Mark Wahlberg through his paces. Wahlberg stars as construction worker Mike who is thrust into the world of espionage when his high school sweetheart, Roxanne, recruits him for a high-stakes intelligence mission. Great locations are used for the fairly predictable scenario, but it’s all just a bit of a hoot and easy to watch if you don’t want to think too much.
